Comic decides to take a risk
By KELLY DENNETT
Life's Lists: Vaughan King writes his bucket list for his International Comedy Festival show One Bucket, Two Comedians.
Bucket lists. Everybody
has one whether it be
taking that well overdue
OE or plucking up the
nerve to get a tattoo.
At 41 years old com-
edian Vaughan King has
ticked both of those
must-dos off his list.
Now he is encouraging
Aucklanders to do the
same in his Inter-
national Comedy Festi-
val Show One Bucket,
Two Comedians.
Mr King and his Irish
co-star Alan McElroy
have created a unique
audience-interactive
show which differs
slightly from the typical
standup comedy routine.
There's a plot and
outcomes and there's a
lot of audience interac-
tion. We're two old guys
about 60 years in the
future. We have a time
machine and we travel
backwards to go back
and change things.''
The comics enlist the
help of the audience to
achieve their bucket list
items and in turn the
comedians help the audi-
ence with theirs.
The idea was spurred
by becoming recipients of
the Creative Comedy
Initiative this year which
supports performers who
want to push boundaries.
The initiative began in
2011 and is modelled on
the Melbourne Comedy
Festival which aims to
challenge the solitary
nature of standup com-
edy.
The different approach
is a change of pace for
Mr King who is a two-
time Billy T Award
nominee and has won
five categories at the
New Zealand Comedy
Guild Awards.
I have some interes-
ting nerves that I
haven't felt in a while.
It's either going to be
completely genius or the
most embarrassing night
of our lives. I love acting,
that was my first passion
before standup so it's so
nice to do something dif-
ferent.''
The comics have set up
a Facebook page encour-
aging people to submit
their bucket list ideas.
So far people have
suggested anything from
eating McDonald's to
adventure sports.
Which is weird
because in New Zealand
that's so available to us
all the time,'' Mr King
says.
We need to open up
our minds. I want to see
someone do something
really crazy like get a
crazy tattoo.''
One Bucket, Two
Comedians is on at The
Basement Theatre, May
14 to 18. Visit

Chefs give families a break
Good deed: MasterChef contestant Vanessa Baxter and other well known Auckland
chefs serving food at Ronald McDonald House Auckland. Receiving her meal is Eshay
Rapira-Moses who is staying at the house.
Auckland's top chefs and
MasterChef contender
Vanessa Baxter set aside
any culinary rivalry they
may have to create a
home cooked meal for the
families staying at
Ronald McDonald House
Auckland this week.
The 12 chefs assem-
bled at the house on
Monday to cook and
serve a meal to 150 fam-
ily members staying at
the house while their
children and brothers or
sisters are in hospital.
Charity ambassador
Vanessa Baxter says it
was a privilege to work
with the professional
chefs and to provide a
well deserved break for
the families who are
spending all their time
on the ward looking after
their children.
I'm in awe of the
parents and the brave
faces they maintain.
Also for the siblings
who are caught up in the
difficult daily routine
alongside their brothers
and sisters.''
The purpose of the
night was to launch the
charity's annual Supper
Club event, which will be
held on June 25 and will
involve 40 of Auckland's
most generous res-
taurants.
A fundraising event,
guests purchase a table
of 10, and on the night
it's a lucky draw to find
out which restaurant
they are going to.
All proceeds from the
Supper Club dinner tic-
ket sales go towards the
development of phase
two of the charity's Graf-
ton Mews family accom-
modation facility.
